The Remote Raider Flare Blueprint exists, and you have more ways to get it than most raiders realise. You can loot it from Electrical containers on any map, research it outright at the Research Station, or roll it as a Trials reward. This guide covers all of them, ranks the best locations, and works out whether the blueprint is worth chasing for the 10 flares that Soul's Offering asks for.
Quick answer: The fastest guaranteed route is the Research Station. Per the wiki, it costs 500 Research Points and 25 Chemicals at Research Station 1. To loot it instead, search Electrical containers. ARC Tracker rates the Hydroponic Dome Complex and Power Generation Complex on Dam Battlegrounds as Heavy, and both get richer during Electromagnetic Storm.

Key Takeaways
- Is there a blueprint? Yes. It unlocks crafting of the Remote Raider Flare at Utility Station 1.
- Guaranteed route: Research Station 1 for 500 Research Points and 25 Chemicals.
- Loot route: Electrical containers on all maps, in any map condition, per the wiki's Blueprints table.
- Trials route: ARC Tracker lists it as a Trials milestone reward at a 0.95% chance.
- Crafting cost: 2 Chemicals and 4 Rubber Parts per flare.
- Sell value: 5,000 coins if you find a spare.
Where is the Remote Raider Flare Blueprint location?
There's no single fixed spawn. The wiki's rule of thumb is that utility blueprints come from Electrical Containers, and ARC Tracker lists 32 container types for this one. These areas carry its top "Loot amount" rating, which compares an area's containers with others on the same map.
| Map | Best areas | Loot amount | Condition bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dam Battlegrounds | Hydroponic Dome Complex, Power Generation Complex | Heavy | Richer during Electromagnetic Storm |
| Spaceport | East Launch Tower, Fuel Control, Rocket Assembly | Heavy | East Launch Tower is richer in several conditions |
| Buried City | Hospital, Arbusto Farmacia, Grandioso Apartments, Camp Colline | Heavy | None listed |
| Blue Gate | Maintenance Wing, Station Office | Heavy | Locked Gate, Electromagnetic Storm |
| Pendola Pass | Cielo Sereno Observatory, Railyard (Technological Electrical), Fallen Emperor | Heavy | None listed |
| Riven Tides | Checkpoint, Port Authority Building, Wavebreaker Compound | Heavy | None listed |
| Stella Montis | Business Center, Communications Tower | Heavy | None listed |
Dam Battlegrounds is our first pick. The two best areas sit close together, Electromagnetic Storm boosts both, and the Hydroponic Dome Complex also rates Heavy for Soul's Offering's Mask Fragment and Fancy Plate and holds the Fertilizer garden beds. One raid can move three goals forward.
Which containers should you search?
Electrical and Technological containers are the target. The ones you'll pass most often are:
- No breach needed: Electrical Cabinet, Computer, Coffee Machine, Fax Machine, Road Barrier Power Box and SOS Booth.
- Sometimes breached: Fuse Box, Generator, Junction Box, Server Rack and Signal Box.
- Always breached: Vending Machine, Phone Booth, Ticket Booth, Vent Unit and Power Generator.
Blueprint drops are rare, so treat this as a side goal on every raid and don't farm one room over and over. The wiki also notes that ARC Surveyors can drop blueprints, and that rare and epic blueprints are more common during x2 major map conditions.
How do you research the Remote Raider Flare Blueprint?
This is the route most guides skip, and it's the one we'd use. Blueprint research removes RNG entirely.
- Build Research Station 1 in your Outpost, which you unlock through the Sheltered Retreat project. ARC Tracker lists 3 Mini Pump, 35 Planks, 5 Battered Paperback and one installed Outpost room.
- Collect 25 Chemicals and 500 Research Points. Chemicals also go into the flare recipe, so you'll need more if you plan to craft.
- Start the research, then choose "Learn and Consume" on the blueprint while in Speranza.
Once learned, you can craft flares whenever you have the materials. The wiki puts the rule plainly: "The blueprint is consumed on use."

What is the best route to farm the blueprint on Dam Battlegrounds?
Queue during Electromagnetic Storm if you can, since ARC Tracker marks both top areas as richer in that condition. Then work the route in this order:
- Start at the Hydroponic Dome Complex. Open computers, electrical cabinets, fuse boxes and other Electrical containers.
- Move north-east to the Power Generation Complex. It's the second Heavy-rated area and a short run away. Check generators, junction boxes and server racks.
- Look for Surveyors on the way. The wiki says ARC Surveyors can drop blueprints, so take the kill if it's safe.
- Extract as soon as it drops. A blueprint only counts once it's in your stash, and a spare still sells for 5,000 coins.
If you've got the 25 Chemicals and 500 Research Points, skip this route and research it. Farming makes sense when you're on Dam anyway, or if your Research Station isn't built yet.
Is the Remote Raider Flare Blueprint worth it?
Yes if you'll keep using flares. No if you only want Soul's Offering done. Here's the maths for the 10 flares Stage 2 demands.
| Route | Cost for 10 flares | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Buy from Shani | 8,100 coins | 810 each, per the wiki |
| Research + craft | 500 RP, 45 Chemicals, 40 Rubber Parts | 25 Chemicals to research, 20 to craft |
| Loot blueprint + craft | 20 Chemicals, 40 Rubber Parts | Only if the drop finds you |
| Buy the flares on timesaver.gg | See the product page | In-game delivery |
| Buy the blueprint on timesaver.gg, then craft | See the product page + materials | Repeat crafting |
For a one-off, Shani wins on speed. The blueprint only pays back if you need flares repeatedly, because each one recycles into just 1 Chemicals and 1 Rubber Parts, and sells for 270 coins. A Prime Specimen and The Trifecta each hand you 3 flares and Off The Radar hands you 2, per the wiki, so check your stash before you buy or craft.
Remember that a flare stacks to 3, so ten of them take four slots if you carry them. Our Fertilizer and Remote Raider Flare guide covers what the flare does and how to handle Stage 2.
